The Pieces Come Together

A few days have passed since my crash, and I've had a few revelations:

1. It never occurred to me as I was laying on the ground that I was a. on the road and b. impeding the start of the men's race.  I also didn't realize how long I was on the ground for.  This makes me think that I did, indeed, have a concussion.  I *could* have gotten up, but I was happy laying on the ground, and I didn't think anything of it. That's never happened before.

2. I do have my skinsuit and my race numbers.  I thought they were thrown away.  Looking at my skinsuit now, I see why people laughed when I got mad that they cut it.

3. My shoulder hurts.  A lot.  It didn't hurt after I crashed, and it didn't start hurting until Sunday night, but now I can't climb out of the saddle or pull on the bars.  Hope it gets better soon.

4.  Road rash makes you fat!  Yesterday I was 7 lbs heavier than I normally am.  I must have a lot of inflammation.
